There are complex challenges that we are all facing with 1 million new people on the planet every week, therefore we need to be much smarter and more sustainable about what we do. We have the knowledge and the skills to design better buildings, more efficiently than ever before. Our mission is to use design to drive innovation and real change to tackle the degradation of ecosystems and climate change.
To achieve this we must work in a more collaborative way with clients, consultants and contractors to find better construction solutions and improve building performance. We help leisure facilities including sports clubs, school sports halls and changing rooms and private members clubs to gain permission to build on Royal and Regional Parks and Conservation Areas by providing high quality sustainable low design solutions that will be acceptable to the local planning authority and other stakeholders.
We help home owners to build new homes and successfully transform existing homes maximising the value of every site by creative design solutions.

Services
We have found that many clients have no clarity on how to manage a design and construction project, who they need to help them to get started, and how much a project will cost.
Planning permission costs a lot of time and money, and planning restrictions especially in heritage environments require an experienced team to prevent delays, costly mistakes, and planning failure.
Some clients believe they can get planning permission without consultation with the local authority and without a detailed and convincing argument for development.

We have experience at designing quality building at all scales from new cities to smaller sports pavilions.
We are not concerned with the size of the project but are 100% focused on getting the best quality building we can for your budget.
We enjoy the craft of architecture and we have expertise in all forms of procurement, particularly design and build.
We have been employed by some of the United Kingdom's largest contractors to provide the quality documentation they require to build.
We have also embraced modern methods of construction and believe working closely with the supply chain to ensure constructability is 'baked' in from the beginning of projects helps to prevent many of the delays and technical issues we see on construction sites in later stages of projects.

I had the pleasure of working with Graham and his team on a project that required a quick turnaround for detailed practical and viable solutions.
I always found Graham very approachable, and nothing was too much trouble.
I would have no hesitation in using Graham Ford again, or recommending him to anyone.
Job well done!
